Mastermind of France Attack is Killed - French Prosecutors Confirm

The suspected mastermind of the Paris terror attacks was killed in yesterday's dramatic police siege on his safe house, prosecutors have confirmed. Belgian jihadist Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 27, was first hit in the head by a police sniper and then blown to pieces by numerous grenades during the raid in the suburb of Saint-Denis.

His body was so unrecognisable it has taken more than 24 hours for forensic tests to confirm he is now dead using DNA from his saliva. Paris prosecutors said his body was 'riddled with bullets', adding that it was unclear whether Abaaoud had detonated a suicide belt.

Now the French authorities will have to explain how they allowed the known terrorist, who was thought to be in Syria, to operate so freely in their country, killing 129 people in the process.

'This is a major failing,' said Roland Jaquard, from the International Observatory for Terrorism.

Interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve said France did not know before last week's deadly attacks that Abaaoud was in Europe, but said he was believed to be behind four of six attacks thwarted since spring by French authorities.

Drinking Coffee May Prevent Premature Death

Drinking coffee can keep you from dying prematurely, according to a new study. Writing in the journal Circulation, researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, found that people who drink between three and five cups of coffee a day may prevent death from certain illnesses.

Even decaffeinated coffee staved off death from cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases, type 2 diabetes, and suicide, the researchers found.

“Bioactive compounds in coffee reduce insulin resistance and systematic inflammation,” said first author Ming Ding, a doctoral student in the Department of Nutrition. “That could explain some of our findings. However, more studies are needed to investigate the biological mechanisms producing these effects.”

The large study of about 200,000 subjects included data from three ongoing studies. Subjects fill out questionnaires about their coffee drinking habits every four years over a 30-year period.

Soul E’s Ex-wife Narrates How She Survived Devastating Fire

 
I almost got burnt on Thursday November 5, 2015. My house got burnt but I’m hale and hearty (Praise God). It was a day I saw God show up like never before, I must say prayer works.I got back home from work at about 8pm and being so tired, I slept off in the sitting room. 
 
I was jolted out of sleep by a loud sound at about 12:45am (Midnight), it was the sound of the explosion of the Tv in my bedroom. By the time I got up to check, my bedroom was on fire, I couldn’t do much as I live alone so I had to run out and start shouting for help. 
 
Neighbours started coming out, everyone running ‘helter skelter’ to contain the fire. Since no one could get into the house because of the smoke, they found a ladder, broke the windows and started pouring water from up (it was like a movie), the more they poured, the more the flames went up, the ac exploded while efforts were being made, no one thought the fire could be put out that night, neighbours started moving out their cars and some their families. 
 
In my confusion I still kept praying and calling on the Lord Jesus to show up and he did. We called the fire service, they called back after 30 mins to ask if the information was authentic, they didn’t show up. At about 1:30am three guys showed up from no where, they took it personal, they insisted on getting inside, with the small fire extinguisher that was being used from the top of the ladder, they went inside, put out the fire and came out unhurt, one of the neighbours gave them a bottle of wine and they left, we haven’t seen them again since then, God obviously “sent” them.
